The New and Improved Swagger Wagon

Because of this beautiful guy...


We had to get this big guy...

A gently used gray Ford Econoline

The upgrade to a 12 passenger van was inevitable for our growing family.  We can squeeze into our Toyota Sienna since it seats 8, but it is a Tetrus game getting the car seats and kids in and arranged.  Plus, we can never ever give anyone a ride which is very inconvenient when we have visitors stay with us and when I need to help out with carpools.  So here it is!  We took the plunge and will be shipping the Beast to Germany and trying very hard not to scratch it up parking.  It's going to take some getting used to for sure.  And in the great words of Yoda, "There is no try, only do."

Wow! How exciting! Welcome to the big van club. :) I highly recommend a backup camera if it doesn't have one. Austin found it easy to install one himself in our Ford. They are very simply made! It helps a ton with parking, etc...especially if you will be driving it in Europe, which is not as friendly to big vehicles as Texas. ;) I have parallel parked ours several times!
